...TheZel: You were tweaking vi.hexes. Here is some IMHO: AI reads upper flags info. AI/engine understands properly only two differend VO-state. But very IMHO, don't have any proof or document of this
AI gets broken in early stage if its troops:- Can't conquer VO's in number of turns left. Adding some turns as a ghost turns could help, as well late coming reinforcements because AI gets broken if under 25% of its troops don't pass morale check. ( This is reason why sometimes AI is broken in turn 7 and then in turn 8 it is not broken 
) Don't have doc. or proofs of this either but played some and noted. Last adjustments to VO's values is what I have used to get that slight draw to marginal victory. You also can try to rise value of some AIs troops that gets surely killed. This is done in unit -level, 'D'-key in scen-editor; cost of the unit. But then you'll have to be carefull: If you rise single tanks cost to say 300, it does not go to flag whats value is under 50% of tanks value. But this adds certain randomness to its behavior, and one reason why I use it in some scenarios what are quite simple otherwise.(IMHO here too, just checked these things many times.)I'll have to go now, but here is little to test and think.
mosh
). My idea is to designate the trucks as reinforcements, and have them turn up a couple of turns after the battle (ie. for a 15 turn battle, they'd "arrive" during turn 17). If the scenario editor will let you do this, it should keep the trucks completely off the battlefield.
